ハーレム isn't the same as ハレム tho. [edit: it seems like they have been using the two words interchangeably nowadays, but "harlem" was the japanese devs' original intention] That said, the translation does seem to be a bit weird. Haven't tried it yet since I'm waiting for someone to confirm if there are any animations in this project.
Fan translation sadly doesn't automatically mean better, for some they use the MTL as a base and then try and mould it into more understandable English, haven't played this yet so I couldn't say whether this falls under that category.
Yeah it's not a font warping it's more of an incorrect font.. My system is in Japanese unicode mode so no need to change for my games. Screen shot attached shows how fonts are incorrect for quotes and such.
Yep seems to be a font without support for Unicode characters.
Wouldn't adding ー just cause the a in "ha" to be pronounced as a long vowel.
「」。、…！will likely cause problems.IIRC it was marketed under that title in the west by importers in a translation fuckup, and the translator has decided to preserve that fuckup basically because they want to.
I have no idea why, but there were many different games, mainly Japanese but not only, that used word "Harlem" instead of harem. Is this some kind of common typo?
Basically it looks like there are two different forms of harem-as-a-loanword in japanese, and one of them is both a form of harem-as-a-loanword and ALSO the japanese word for the neighborhood Harlem. So Harlem is theoretically *A* correct translation of the title but also obviously wrong if you're paying any attention to it.
I'm pretty sure English isn't actually the Translator's first language, which would both easily produce something that looks a lot like an MTL.
